He faced just three rivals but, with the way he ran, Getaway Car (Curlin) looked as though a full field wouldn’t be a problem in taking the GIII Best Pal Stakes at Del Mar Sunday afternoon. Honored as a ‘TDN Rising Star’ for his 3 1/4-length debut performance over five furlongs July 20, the 1-5 favorite had an extra furlong to work with in the jump up to graded stakes company for trainer Bob Baffert. “This guy’s been a lot of fun,” Baffert added. “Great name and he’s fast. He wasn’t slowing down. He’s got a beautiful stride. Just a beautiful way of doing it. He’s by Curlin and Curlin’s usually get better with age. The good horses can get the distance.”
